History
The shrine's origins date back to the early Heian period, when Emperor En'yu transferred the Wakamiya Hachiman Shrine from Kyoto to this location, which lies in the direction of the Dog and Pig (southwest) relative to the Ise Grand Shrine. During the Edo period, as the maritime trade from Shirako Port flourished, the shrine attracted strong devotion from those praying for safe voyages and business prosperity. Among the ema (votive plaques) dedicated up until the end of the Edo period, 71 have been designated as a Prefectural Folk Cultural Property.

What visitors say
The shrine grounds are spacious and open, covered entirely with gravel. Next to the worship hall is an Inari Shrine, where valuable ema designated as cultural properties are displayed. There is a parking lot, making access by car possible, but caution is needed as the grounds are gravel paths and there are steps leading to the worship hall.
